There was less crime in MacArthur Park this week. It was also less serious. That said, the car theft trend does continue and trends north west, along with a lot of unreported neighborhood tagging. The blue stars represent that tagging. Most of the thefts from cars took place along Anaheim in the business district. Most of these car thefts took place in places where car thefts have happened in the past.
Car Theft Prevention Tip: Do not leave valuables in your car even for on short trips
Also notice there was a string of breaking and entering just north of our neighborhood. Be vigilant just in case that trends south west. Here are some suggestions on how to prevent breaking and entering. You can get outlet plugs on timers to keep your lights turning on and off at certain times, to keep appliances on and off as if someone is home while you're away. Below are some other cheap things you can buy at almost any home improvement store to keep your home secure. If I personally had the window locks, the only breaking and enterting that affected me would probably have never occurred. Considering you can get them for about $5 each, they are an excellent investment.
